View 1 Replies View RelatedThe app has an intent filter to allow it to appear in the share menu in other applications via ACTION_SEND intents. The app itself also has a share menu using ACTION_SEND and create Chooser(), and my app appears in the list. Since they are already in my app it seems strange to have them be able to share back to itself. Is there a way for my app not to appear in the list if it's being called from my app?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy app works with pictures. It can take multiple pictures as an input, process them, and send them again to another app.
As a consequence, my main Activity has declared an intent filter on ACTION_SEND_MULTIPLE for image/* mimetypes and can result in issuing a new Intent with the same action and data type using Activity.startActivity(Intent).
Is there a way to exclude my own activity from the list of apps that is displayed to the user after the startActivity() call ?
When I run my app, it works fine but if I switch back to home or another application, I want to go back to my app quickly by using the recent activity list (on my phone this is done by holding down the home button). For whatever reason, I never see my application in this list of apps. All other apps when they are running or have just recently been closed show up ( the menu shows 6 icons for the recent apps). Why doesn't my app show up on this list? Is this something you need to do programmatically?
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe recent apps display seems to function quite differently from earlier versions on 2.2. Try the following for instance: 1) Open an app 2) Click on something that takes you to another activity in the same app 3) Press the home button 4) Press and hold the home button to get the recent list of apps - select the app you chose in step 1 5) You'll be taken to whatever activity in that app is specified as the main/launcher Activity, rather than the Activity on top of the stack (as it was previously) It makes it appear to the user that the application has exited when the home screen button was pressed. I don't have my app set to clear history on launch or anything like that, and I can replicate it on the emulator and with any app on my device (Contacts, Gmail, Engadget etc) Anyone else notice this? Anyone know any reason for the changes? I must admit I quite dislike the new method.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI need to enable a MenuItem when a previous screen (Activity) returns. I tried this code:
...
((MenuItem)findViewById(R.id.menu_how)).setEnabled(true);

but a null pointer exception is launched. BTW, the menu_how is set to false in xml; and the code is part of onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent data) call.
I'm getting all kinds of errors when using res/menu/menu_home.xml, and my project won't build. That's when I remembered that there was a way to create menus from java code instead of declaring it via xml. Does someone remember how to do that?

In this activity, I dont want pressing of Call key to make it go to Call Log so I handle onKeyDown call back and there if the key pressed is Call, I just return true. That solves my problem.

So what's the correct way to have a menu item take me to a specific Activity? I've revised my code based on the initial set of advice. Still crashing in the same place.

I am trying to start a new activity from a menu action, as follows:
CODE:.............
The class exists, and has the OnCreate method over-ridden, but whenever I try to perform the action in the simulator I get an ActivityNotFoundException raised. I have looked through the documents and as far as I can read, I do not need to create an Intent in the manifest.xml for this to work.
In android, I create my menu item like this?
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
menu.add(0, 0, 0, "Menu1");
menu.add(0, 1, 0, "Menu2");
return true;}
How can I set all the menu item disabled programmically (in another part of the code in my activity, not in onCreateOptionsMenu() method itself)?
I wanted to create a static options menu for all my activity screens. I dont want to override onCreateOptionsMenu() in each activity. Since Menu class is an interface with a huge number of methods, its difficult to create a static object of the implementing class.

I want to use addIntentOptions to drive my menus when ever possible. This seems the cleanest way to provide them. Rather than explicitly detailing activities, simply ask for a menu listing all the activities which are available for my data item.So I'm trying to put together a context menu for a List View. It works great. Only problem is that I have an activity that has two intents that consume my data type, and only the first shows up.The activity in question in Android Manifest.xml
<activity android:name=".ui.MyActivity" android:label="The title">
<intent-filter android:label="First context label">
<action android:name="com.sample.action.FIRST_ACTION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.SELECTED_ALTERNATIVE" />
<data android:scheme="myscheme" />
</intent-filter>
<intent-filter android:label="Second context label">
<action android:name="com.sample.action.SECOND_ACTION" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.ALTERNATIVE" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.SELECTED_ALTERNATIVE" />
<data android:scheme="myscheme" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Please find the code sample below:
public class Abc extends Activity implements OnClickListener{
private ListView displayList;
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.mainlayout);
displayList =(ListView)findViewById(R.id.addressbooklistview);
addressbookAdapter = new CustomListAdapter(this,addressbookList);
displayList.setAdapter(addressbookAdapter);
registerForContextMenu(displayList);}
I am not able to invoke the context menu on long press. Please let me know any solution for the same.
I am completely exhausted to think logically right now..... I am sure it is pretty easy to implement
I have a menu item which when selected would call another activity class. I am using switch case to select between menu items. I tried creating an Intent to start activity using the Class name but doesn't work.
I want to start the activity owned by other application. I know we could construct the Intent(setAction,setClass), and then call context.startActivity(intent) to start a new activity owned by the same application. When we start the activity not owned by the same application,doest this also work?
For example, I have a activity (com.test.StartTest) and there is a button that used to start some activity Settings owned by the Phone:
CODE:..............
I have list activity with custom array adapter and I can't to get context menu when make long press on list item.
<TabWidget
android:id="@android:id/tabs"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<FrameLayout
android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="5dp">
<ListView
android:id="@+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
Why I do not see context menu? What I do wrong? How to get context menu with array adapter and ListActivity.
I'm developing an app that starts with a main menu, and then continues through three different steps (activities) to a final activity where the task is marked complete. On this last activity, i have several additional options (add note, share, etc..) and i also have a return to main menu button.
My question is.. how do i stack the activities so that calling finish() on the final activity will return back to the first activity launched? i am currently just starting the new activity via an intent, so pressing back on this screen doesn't return me to home as i would like.
I'm writing program for Android (SDK 1.5). I would like to know how to add/register one of my program activities in "Home Screen -> Menu -> Add-> Shortcuts" (or on Hero "Home Screen -> Menu -> Add to Home-> Shortcut") so that user will be able to add it to his home screen. Is there an Intent Filter or any other way to achieve that?
